Hey everyone! If you're jumping into the new season of Torchlight Infinite, this guide will help you figure out which builds are worth your time and which ones to avoid. We'll go over each build's strengths, weaknesses, and how recent updates have affected them.
Worst Performing Builds (D Tier)
· Rehan Seeding Spirit – This build tries to mix rage mechanics with spirit summons. It has an okay clear speed early on, but struggles in the late game. The gear cost is high, and the damage just isn't worth it.
· Spider Tank Moto – A fun-looking minion build that's been hurt by AI nerfs and durability issues. It's slow, unreliable, and not good for bosses or fast farming.
Below Average (C Tier)
· Youga Space-Time Elapse – A time-based damage-over-time build. It's fun to play, but it doesn't deal enough burst damage and struggles against bosses that move a lot.
· Thea Ring of Ice – This build uses freezing and chill effects to control enemies. It clears small enemies fast but lacks real boss damage. Okay for casual farming, but not strong in endgame.
Decent Options (B Tier)
· Rosa Frost Spike – A cold projectile build that clears maps well and is affordable to gear. It's not amazing for bosses, but it works fine for general farming.
· Rosa Solid Blade – A melee hybrid that uses physical damage and bleed. It's fun once it gets going and can handle most content, but requires solid gear and good movement.
· Selena Howling Hail – A wind-based damage-over-time build. Great for clearing groups of enemies and pretty easy to build. However, it doesn't do much damage to bosses.
Strong Builds (A Tier)
· Erica Windstalker – A fast-paced, crit-based ranged build. Very mobile, great for clearing maps, and solid overall. Just a bit weaker in long boss fights.
· Thunder Slam – A lightning-based melee build that deals huge AoE damage. It's fun, beginner-friendly, and consistent, though not the fastest build around.
· Rehan Seeding Rage – Focuses on rage-fueled burst attacks. It hits hard and is great for boss fights. With the right setup, it can be one of the strongest builds out there.
· Carino Ice Lances – A high-speed, high-damage caster build. It does great in all content, but it's a glass cannon—high risk, high reward.
· Frostfire Fusion – Uses both fire and cold damage to apply strong effects. A bit harder to play, but very powerful if you learn the rotation.
· Bing Blast Nova – Uses remote mines for big explosions. Fast, deadly, and satisfying, but it can be squishy and gear-intensive.
Top Builds in the Game (S Tier)
· Erica Thunder Spike – One of the strongest builds right now. It deals massive damage with lightning projectiles and clears everything quickly.
· Rehan Whirlwind – A rage-based melee build that's tanky, fast, and powerful. Great for both farming and bossing.
· Iris Minions – Minion builds are back, and this one is great for beginners and veterans. It's passive, safe, and still does tons of damage.
· Youga Chain Lightning – A flashy caster build that clears the screen and melts bosses. You'll need to play carefully, but the damage is top-tier.
· Gemma Auto Bomber – This build uses automated explosions to destroy everything quickly. It's easy to play, clears fast, and can even do well in boss fights.
Final Thoughts
There are a lot of fun and powerful builds this season, but some are better than others. If you want the strongest and most efficient options, go with the S-tier builds. If you're just playing for fun or want a unique challenge, the lower-tier builds still have something to offer.
